Why is mainstream music so trash?

[Recordist]

Look at the apple or spotify top 50 charts, observe the trash and listen to it. A trend noticable is

1. Mindless and meaningless rap
2. Autotune
3. Extended periods of synth solo's to decrease effort required
4. Lyrics with no/stupid meanings
5. Constant and unchanging 'beat' throughout the song.

What happened? I know this doesn't apply to all music in the top 50's. I still enjoy Imagine Dragons and Paramore etc... but they actually play real instruments, write their own songs, and they generally have some sort of meaning (not always; again.) Skip back to the 80's, 70's and 60's (forget about the 90's), there was significantly less meaningless rap, autotune was almost non-existant, synth solo's were replaced with guitar solo's, lyrics(s o m e) were (u s u a l l y) meaningful, and that dreaded 'beat' not only changed in the song, but it was different to every other song.

What really pisses me off is seeing this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 20-30 year old mentally challenged people, wear shirts that hang to their knee's, have gold chains around their neck heavier than their actual head and blurt out monotonous and drab, slurred and barely comprehensable 'lyrics' (that they almost never write themselves) and get paid (a lot) for it. It's just silly.

My complaint was aimed at the top 50 charts.

In that case, why pick a title that says "Modern music?" Why not "mainstream music" or "chart-topping?"

Happy?

I stopped listening to mainstream music like 5 years ago when it was actually good. I agree modern rap is just absolutely sh*te so now I just listen to 90's old school hip hop

Mainstream music has always been trash. Go and find your own music, you have a PC and the internet.
There's hundreds of cool bands and singers you will never hear on the radio, Go fish.
